Abstract
AbstractSaccharomyces cerevisiae is important for protein secretion studies, yet the complexities of protein synthesis and secretion under endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress conditions remain not fully understood. ER stress, triggered by alterations in the ER protein folding environment, poses substantial challenges to cells, especially during heterologous protein production. In this study, we used RNA‐seq to analyze the transcriptional responses of yeast strains to ER stress induced by reagents such as tunicamycin (Tm) or dithiothreitol (DTT). Our gene expression analysis revealed several crucial genes, such as HMO1 and BIO5, that are involved in ER‐stress tolerance. Through metabolic engineering, the best engineered strain R23 with HMO1 overexpression and BIO5 deletion, showed enhanced ER stress tolerance and improved protein folding efficiency, leading to a 2.14‐fold increase in α‐amylase production under Tm treatment and a 2.04‐fold increase in cell density under DTT treatment. Our findings contribute to the understanding of cellular responses to ER stress and provide a basis for further investigations into the mechanisms of ER stress at the cellular level.
